Best Shampoo to remove product from hair?

glmama — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:36:23 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Years ago I used to use something from Aveda that was like a nice, cleansing shampoo that got all the "junk" outta my hair. I'm not even a huge hair product user; however, I've been using this particular dry shampoo on days I don't want to wash and it is a bear to get out the next day. With regular shampoo I feel that I have to wash twice to get the thick, dry shampoo feeling out of my hair.

Anything like this in the drugstores? Or does Aveda still sell something similar? I'll have to look at prices, but I'd love to find something in Target or CVS!

TIA

This may sound odd but on one of the Philosophy shows they mentioned they had feedback that that some women used Purity Made Simple (the facial wash) as a way to de-gunk hair. I don't use a lot of hair products but I do this every once and a while and it does seem to make my hair feel cleaner. I shampoo, use the Purity and then condition.

A great clarifying shampoo that works great to get the gunk out is available at Target or drugstores: Neutrogena's Anti-Residue Shampoo.

The best solution I have used is 1 T of baking soda to your favorite shampoo. My hair was squeaky clean and I no longer have to hunt down different shanpoos that remove build up.

Yep. You need a clarifying shampoo. The one I use prior to doing a whole head coloring a few days before the color app is Ion Color Solutions which I get at Sally's Beauty Supply House. It is sulfate free, removes product build-up, makes my hair shiny esp. if it is color-treated and paraben free.

It does the job for me beautifully!

Good luck!

Malibu un-do-goo shampoo works great!

One that is really cheap that I'm sure you can find at lots of places is VO5 Herbal Escapes Clarifying Shampoo. It's in a green bottle.

Joico K-Pak Clarifying shampoo is, hands down, the best. It is very gentle yet very thorough.

I use old fashioned Prell. The thick green stuff from the olden days. Granted, it is not gentle, but it sure cleans out most anything.

Suave has a nice daily clarifying shampoo. There are also many at Sally's and in drugstores. Any of those will do. Suave or VO5 are great and cheap!

Thanks so much for your replies. Aspen-I've seen this Neutrogena product for years and I've never tried it--but that will be changing ASAP!

Grzbela-I have heard this before about Purity. I might even have a half-used bottle somewhere (doesn't work as a cleanser for me).

Btw, aspen & Ladies, I purchased the Neutro shampoo at CVS yesterday and used this morning. It's fantastic and just what I needed. I could literally feel the product coming out of my hair. I've been using Big Se&y Hair's Dry Shampoo a few days/week lately and while I like the results for the day when I do use this product, it's a bear to get out of the hair and definitely gives it a very stiff texture. I don't know if I'll repurchase the dry shampoo b/c of this. I'm still on my search for my HG dry shampoo!

Great news, glmama! I've used the Neutro shampoo for years. Even though I don't put lots of gunk on my hair, I find that washing with Neutro about once every 2 or 3 months, just one time, really "refreshes" my locks! So glad it worked well for you too.

If you need a very gentle clarifier try Pureology & you need very little to remove buildup. Don't use it more than once or twice a month if you have delicate/highlighted hair.

Suave clarifying is very good. I also use it to clean my combs.

Agree with KatCat--you don't need a special clarifying shampoo, a tablespoon of baking soda works great to remove any build up. You can just dissolve it in water , use as a rinse, then rinse with water. Gunk is gone and no need to buy a special shampoo.

4doggies & Kat-I will definitely try the baking soda trick next time.
